Thoughts:
I like the blue plates and the fact that here is no air brushed shark on the side. It's hard to tell what's going on due to the low quality pictures. Paint looks good, wheels are shiny and the suspension seems to be sitting nicely. I LOVE the tacky interior. Oh, I just noticed the ROCKSTAR energy drink sticker on the rear window. I was going to say go at it for $4,000, but with that sticker don't go over $3,750.
Seriously, if there is documentation to go along with this seventies classic, adjust your price accordingly. Could be a lot of fun... is that a water bed in the back?
